Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing it lightly.
- Combine softened unsalted butter and canola oil with granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then pour in the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients along with the buttermilk.
- In a small bowl, mix a portion of the batter with molasses and cinnamon until incorporated.
- Pour half of the plain batter into the loaf pan, dollop half of the cinnamon mixture on top, then repeat the layers.
- Gently swirl the batter with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- While the loaf cools, mix melted butter with brown and granulated sugar, then brush the cooled bread with butter and roll it in the sugar mixture.
- Slice and serve the bread warm.

Notes
For best results, use room temperature eggs and avoid overmixing to prevent a dense loaf. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
